I am an evil giraffe. Who no longer blogs about politics.

Did Abrams just throw a WHALE at San Francisco? Because that’s funny, if he did. On several levels.

Second… a bit of the controversy over who that villain is above: Khan Noonien Singh, or Gary Mitchell. If it was the latter, that is Kicking It Old School With A Vengeance. And that would be pretty damned spiffy.

On the other hand, check out the Japanese teaser trailer. Watch it to the end:

Dammit, people, let me have this. I was inexplicably denied actually getting to see Captain America punch out Adolf Hitler in Adolf Hitler’s own personal submarine, and that still grates; so I wanna see a whale get thrown at San Francisco. What the hell do we have CGI even FOR, if not for stuff like that? 🙂

I’m already irritated that Abrams literally retconned everything (except Enterprise) in the original reboot. Does he have to crib every iconic, dramatic element from STII to punch up not one, but two (or more) movies?

If we’re going to go in a new direction, go in a new direction already.
